Time 30m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 teaspoon olive oil
4 ounces finely diced pancetta (about 3/4 cup)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 small leek, white and light green parts only, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup arborio rice
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 dried bay leaf
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 cups lightly packed baby spinach
1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan, plus more for serving

Steps:

  • Warm the chicken broth in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Cover and keep warm while you make the risotto.
  • Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the pancetta and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and crisp, about 4 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the pancetta to a paper-towel lined plate.
  • Remove all but 2 tablespoons of the rendered fat from the saucepan, then add the garlic, leek, a pinch of salt and several grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the leek is tender and softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the rice, butter and bay leaf. Cook, stirring, until the rice is toasted, smells nutty and turns a light golden brown, about 4 minutes. Pour in the wine and simmer, stirring occasionally, until it is completely absorbed, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Ladle 1/2 cup of the warm stock into the rice and cook, stirring gently without stopping, until the rice has absorbed the liquid, 2 to 3 minutes (you will know it's time to add more stock when you move the rice aside and no liquid pools in the center). Repeat this process, adding more stock a ladleful at a time, until the rice is al dente, 15 to 17 minutes. Discard the bay leaf.
  • Stir in the baby spinach, Parmesan, half of the reserved pancetta, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a couple grinds of pepper. Stir until the spinach is wilted and everything is evenly combined. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Spoon into 2 dinner bowls and top with the remaining pancetta and a sprinkle of Parmesan.

LEEK RISOTTO WITH SUGAR SNAP PEAS AND PANCETTA



Leek Risotto With Sugar Snap Peas and Pancetta image

Contrary to popular belief, you don't have to stir risotto constantly, but achieving a creamy risotto with slightly toothsome grains does require some attention. During the cooking process, the rice should always be lightly coated in liquid and bubbling energetically, and the liquid needs to be added gradually: Add just before the rice threatens to stick to the bottom of the pan. For the creamiest results, stir more frequently and more vigorously during the second half of the cooking, when the grains begin to release their starch.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
3 ounces thinly sliced pancetta or bacon
1 quart chicken stock
3 large leeks, white parts only, split lengthwise, sliced 1/4-inch thick and thoroughly washed (about 3 cups)
2 garlic cloves, smashed
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 1/2 cups arborio rice
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 ounces grated Pecorino (about 3/4 cup), plus more for topping
8 ounces sugar snap peas, strings removed, snap peas halved lengthwise
1/2 cup snipped chives (optional)

Steps:

  • Add 1/2 tablespoon oil to a large, wide saucepan, and add the pancetta slices. (It's OK if they're not in one layer, as they will shrink quite a bit.) Turn heat to medium and cook, turning and rearranging the pancetta until lightly browned, crisp, and the fat has rendered, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer with tongs to a paper towel, leaving the fat in the pan.
  • Add the stock and 1 cup water to a separate medium saucepan. Transfer the saucepan to a back burner and bring to a simmer over low. Keep warm on the lowest heat.
  • Add 1 tablespoon oil to the pan that you cooked the pancetta in, and add the leeks, garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring, over medium-high until wilted and soft, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the rice and cook, stirring, until grains look slightly translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Add wine and cook until nearly absorbed, about 1 minute.
  • Add a ladleful of stock to the rice - you want just enough to barely cover the surface of the rice. Cook at a lively simmer, stirring very frequently, until it's nearly absorbed, 2 to 3 minutes. Continue adding stock in this way until rice is very creamy, but still al dente, 15 to 20 minutes total. You may not need all of the liquid, but you will probably use most of it.
  • Stir in the butter and cheese, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir in the snap peas. Add more of the remaining liquid if needed to loosen (it should be a bit soupy), and divide among four shallow bowls. Crumble the reserved pancetta over top, and sprinkle with chives, if desired.
